Director: Fred Olen Ray

Fred Olen Ray. American B-budget director and producer (b. 1954- ). One of the most prolific directors of low-budget genre films, usually in the sf, horror, action and softcore erotica categories. He is listed as the director of more than 160 films as of this writing. His first film was made in 1978.

Fred Olen Ray’s films hit just between the cheap and exploitative and a redeemingly cynical savvy. They wave their low-budgets in their audiences and clearly that they are bad or tongue-in-cheek films. Olen Ray also loves bimbos – he frequently gets his actresses topless and was the foremost director to popularise the 1980s Scream Queens fad.
